The new Bylaws that were approved at the last meeting are filed and will come into effect as soon as the Province accepts them in a couple of months. That means that the Policies and Procedures manual will have to be changed to bring it into line with the new Bylaws. This requires a Special Resolution at the next Club meeting on January 20th 2016. The manual is posted at https://static.narc.net/images/bylaws_2015/PandPOct7final.pdf.

For the past few decades, the Club has been run “top-down” with the Executive Board telling the membership what activities should be undertaken and directing the way in which the Club functions. In today’s world, this is an old-fashioned way of conducting business.
